When using power tools to sand large amounts of glass, you should ensure that the space is properly ventilated. As a result of sanding glass, fine dust is created, so you should wear a mask and eye protection as well. It may be helpful to use a clamp, but in some cases it may be too much pressure that causes your glass to crack.
The most common type of paper is Silicon carbide. To prepare the surface for frosted glass, first, you should thoroughly clean it with glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Sanding glass edges with either sandpaper, Dremel, drill, or silicon carbide powder is easy, and it is not difficult. Glass looks almost polished when I use medium, fine, and extra fine points and wheels. If you want to achieve a true polish look, you can use it as the final polish or as a pre polish.
Using glue and water mix, paint the window and then layer tissue paper over it. Net curtains and blinds are not as effective as our windows, which provide privacy. You can also add some tap water to window clings to make them adhere even better to glass.
You can wipe them over with a soft cloth after they have been pressed to the glass. Crafting with love. By Alice. Table of contents how do you cover a window with paper? I hope it works out! I tried to do this with Modern Masters brand tintable glaze and it didn't work at all! The glaze still wasn't dry after a week, and it had melted off the Rustoleum brand frosted glass spray I used underneath.
I haven't tried it with the brands RighMeow recommends but don't use Modern Masters! Very helpful! I have glanced at the price of some adhesive sheets that involved squeegees and were expensive. Your solution is a lot cheaper! Thanks for sharing it! Reply 8 years ago on Introduction. You're very welcome! I have gone through a good bit of trial and error with the squeegee on stuff as well. It was difficult to put on larger windows and I just gave up and returned it. And you're right, it is very expensive!

This simple way to "frost" a window, or make it private, is one of my favorite home hacks ever! It's so simple and cheap, and helps with an annoying problem that would be expensive or messy to fix otherwise. I've actually shared this before a looong time ago , but it's one that's worth sharing again!
I've only had to use this trick a few times, but it's been so helpful. The first time I did this was on our glass pantry door ten years ago:. I was able to "frost" that pantry glass door for next to nothing! Although getting the film placed perfectly on those panes was a PAIN A few helpful readers told me about this trick forever ago. Who knew transparant contact paper is the easiest and cheapest way to make a window private?
I was so pleasantly surprised when this actually worked! We had a big bathroom window in the old house that I made private with this as well. I didn't think I'd need to do it again, until we moved into this house and realized the powder room window was placed in a less than ideal spot:.

See my policies and disclosure page for more information. Take a look at this post to see all of the easy steps on how to install this on a window. You'll just need a spray bottle with water, scissors and some way to push out the bubbles. Because this paper isn't wide enough for the window, I cut the peices in the size of the window panes.
You can also cut them in strips, which is how I did it on the window in our old bathroom. You'll have TONS of bubbles, but they will push right out! There are a number of DIY ways to create a frosted glass look and enjoy all the benefits—without breaking the bank. Read on! One of the easiest and most forgiving methods for DIY frosted glass involves decorative window film or adhesive vinyl shelf lining.
Decorative window film adheres using static cling, so it is entirely removable and repositionable. Vinyl shelf lining or contact paper sticks using a gentle adhesive, meaning it can also be removed easily and without damage; however, removing or repositioning it can weaken the adhesive and cause curling edges or drooping. With either product, be sure to start by cleaning the surface of the windows thoroughly.
Measure and cut carefully to fit the area. Adhesive-style lining is generally applied to a clean, dry surface, while the static-cling film works best applied to a wet window—be sure to read the application instructions included with your product.
You can find window film in a solid frosted-glass style or with a decorative pattern. Feeling crafty? Create your own custom cutout design in solid film prior to application. Trace a pattern or design onto the paper backing of the film, then cut it out using a sharp utility knife and cutting board. Apply as normal. Challenges of window film: - Can be pricey, especially for large windows - Extreme temps may affect performance.
For very inexpensive and removable option, turn to your kitchen cupboard!
